There’s an issue with the pitcher speeding up his motion?
I’m guessing that’s what Matheny was asking about. Did he break from his usual motion. Either that or asking if Castro stepped in front of the plate before catching the pitch.
If you have the ball, surely you can block the plate? Can’t you?
I figured that was the obvious thing for the KCA’s manager to argue about.
Right down the middle 1st pitch to Castro
Gurriel singles on the ground into right
Correa hammers a double into RCF. Gurriel scores without a play. 4 - 0
Diaz lines out to left
Meyers k’s swinging
Castro does too.

Unless the catcher is in possession of the ball the catcher cannot block the pathway of the runner as he is attempting to score.
so in possession, no issue. I just couldn’t figure out what the discussion was about.
Lopez singles into center on an 0-2 pitch
Perez pops out foul to first
Benintendi with a weird oopsy infield single to first
Dozier flies out to center—Lopez advances to 3rd
O’Hearn pops out to Correa in shallow right
On to the bottom of the 4th…
I just don’t think I’m the target market for NURX ads.
Altuve tried to yank that pitch on the outside corner.
If Frank Thomas, Doug Flutie, and Andy Van Slyke can’t sell you some over the counter boner pills, I don’t know who can.
Holy sweet fuck, Yordan
What the fuck is Yordan waiting for?
That was pathetic by Yordan.
2 FB, 1 CH all down the middle
He’s not really much of a threat these days.
I think it was only three pitches.
Jones lines another single into right
Altuve shamefacedly pops out to center
Brantley walks
Alvarez k’s looking on three straight
Gurriel flies out to right
On to the top of the 5th…
This is why I can’t be on TV. Because if some Twitter user asked me “is 5 your favorite number?”, I would interject “you have a chance to ask one question to a Hall of Fame, and you ask his favorite fucking number? His favorite number is zero, which is the number of points I award your question.”
He could have left his bat in the dugout.
